I picked up a Scootering magazine on my lunch break and they had a review of the Vespa GTS. I think I'm in love.. 4-stroke, 4-valve, liquid cooled 250 twist-n-go with a chrome fender crest and rear flip-down rack standard. Top speed of 92 mph.

I'd probably have to take out a second morgage on my house to afford one, but way cool.

Fo what it's worth, I'm certainly no expert. However, as the owner of an 80cc Honda Elite, a 600cc Honda Silverwing, a 2002 Bajaj, a 62 Lambretta and a 63 Allstate, and having driven a 50cc Honda Metropolitan, a 2003 Stella, and a 250cc Honda Helix, I can categorically say that 200+cc scooters are pushing some indescribable envelope between "scooter" and "not scooter". I never knew what it meant to drive a scooter until I drove the Bajaj for the first time. I knew I was closer to the truth when I drove the Allstate and the Lambretta. I have wood when I drive the Bajaj but have certain knowledge that God exists when driving the Lambretta.

yep and we're usually a little more than over there. That equals like $5800 plus their prep and shipping charges plus how ever much more the US price will be. I bet it will be $7k or more out the door..
